Search history. Complete history clearing. View and delete browsing history on Android

Let's look at how to view history in Yandex, the largest search engine on the Runet.

According to official statistics, to work with the global network, 70% of CIS users use two main tools - a search engine and the same one.

Both components can store user browsing data.

This means that even after a while you will be able to see all the web pages and queries you clicked on.

If necessary, you can quickly restore all open tabs over a certain period of time.

Yandex stores absolutely all information about website traffic, whether it was recorded yesterday or a year ago.

View and delete in a search engine

Since Yandex stores all user activity data, the “My Finds” service was created to store a large number of requests.

With its help, everyone who is registered and authorized can find out everything they need in a few clicks.

To view a list of your visited pages, follow the instructions:

As a result, a window will appear indicating the user login and ;

Since the history is tied only to your account, it makes no difference which browser they were read from. All data will be saved in the “My Finds” service. Click on the gear icon in the main window or in the incoming mail display tab;
Click on the “Other” item to go to a new one, which will display all services and options;

Next, find two items - these are “My Finds” and "Search settings". They are at the very bottom of the page;

Click on the item "Search results settings" and in the window that opens, check whether the checkboxes for accounting are checked. Also, the key must be pressed "Recording History". If such data is not configured, the information cannot be restored, and detailed information about views can only be viewed;
In the settings, find the key to go to “My Finds” and click on it;

Once in “Finds”, you will be able to see everything that has been read from your account.

The page with all requests is a powerful tool for analyzing user activity.

You will be able to see not only the search options, which are conveniently divided by date, but also jump back to the results. You just need to click on it.

Users can export information from other devices, work with image search information, blogs, and view not only them, but also the sites they visit.

All this is possible thanks to the settings tab on the left side of the window.

Perform a search to quickly find the item you need. To do this, use the timeline or text field.

Enable or disable history recording yourself by moving the slider in the upper right part of the window. To remove a request or web page from storage, click on the cross next to its name.

Also, in the settings, users can allow or block the saving of all your data.

Please note that it will be created based on your work with the system itself, as well as with Yandex.Market services.

To do this, in the settings, click on the Yandex.Market tab and in the service settings window, click on the “Clear” button.

The system data will be deleted, as well as all information about your search in the product store.

Deleting storage data

Greetings, dear visitors! Think about it, what is browser history? It's not just a database containing information about what you visit on the Internet. This is a real weapon! Just think, you visit social networks, look at someone's photos, read information that is very specific and you don't want anyone to know about it.

But work colleagues and family members who have access to your devices with Internet access can find out such data. It's scary, don't you agree? But don’t worry about this, because I’ll tell you how to avoid this using the Yandex browser as an example. In this article you will learn how to secure, view and clear the log of visits to Yandex sites.

Computer browser.

How to clear the visit log in the computer version? To do this, of course, you need to open your browser and click the button in the form of three sticks located in the upper right corner (the first of four). Next, in the menu that appears, select the “history” item, then click on the clear history button (underlined in red) and the process is over.

Many people are interested in finding the necessary information, for example, an interesting site that they accidentally came across and liked, but don’t remember the name. Tell me, this has probably happened to you, hasn’t it? Enter keywords in the upper right corner of the search box and get the necessary data.

Some people are only interested in deleting specific sites in the list; to do this, select the one you want, hover your mouse over it and a small square will appear that you need to click on, after which a new function for deleting selected objects will open.

Carry out the same procedures on a mobile device.

But how to carry out all these procedures on your phone? This is a little more difficult to do. You must go to the browser, also click on the three-bar button, click on the clock symbol. Next there is a slight complication.

There is no button to delete; you should long press your finger on any of the links, and a context menu will appear in which you can delete either the selected file or clear the log as a whole.

It is impossible to search for a specific link like on a PC, but you can add in advance those sites that you like or may find useful in bookmarks and quickly navigate to them by selecting the bookmarks item in the same menu, instead of history, it is marked with an asterisk icon.

On a tablet.

Cleaning up your visits won't take much time. As in previous cases, you need to click on the icon of three stripes (in this case dots) and select the settings item, then the privacy section and click on the “clear data” button

Incognito mode.

This is a mode of operation of the browser in which a log of visits is not kept - in other words, the history is not recorded. In order to activate it on the tablet, in the privacy section, you need to uncheck the “save history” option.

On the phone this is done like this: go into the settings and just scroll down until you see the same item as on the tablet, plus you can delete the list of your visits, just like on the tablet, but you won’t be able to select sites selectively. Activating incognito mode on a PC is even easier; you just need to hold down the three-key combination ctrl+shift+N and the mode will start working!

So we looked at all the possibilities regarding the site log in Yandex. Now you can easily delete your data, look for lost links, and also use the Internet without fear that the data will be saved and someone will see it. We hope that these recommendations have saved you from problems. Share information with friends and visit my blog more often, you will learn a lot of useful things!

User question

Hello.

Please tell me, are the sites I visit saved somewhere on my computer? The fact is that I read an interesting article, but for the life of me I can’t remember on which site...

Good day!

The entire history of pages viewed (by date and time) is saved in the browser log. Such a log is available in any normal browser. In this article I will show you how to open this magazine and see when and what pages were viewed in it. I will also touch on several options for viewing your visit history if the log has already been cleared.

Option #1

Press a simple combination of buttons Ctrl+H - a window with history should automatically open (note: H - History).

Option No. 2

Just copy the address: chrome://history/ and paste it into the address bar of your browser. Simple and easy!

Option No. 3

In the upper right corner of the browser window, you need to click the “three dots” icon - select the tab in the list that opens "Story"(see screenshot below).

Advice! By the way, to open the last tab (which was closed) press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+T.

Next, you will see a complete list of all visits: by date, time (see example below). You can also search for the page you need by its name (top menu). In general, you can find the sites you visited quite quickly.

Opera

Option #1

Press the buttons simultaneously Ctrl+H(same as in Chrome).

Option No. 2

Click "Menu" in the upper left corner and select the "History" tab. Next you will have the opportunity to:

open the log (browsing history);
clear your browsing history (by the way, you can also hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Del buttons to do this);
or view the last few pages viewed (example below).

By the way, the magazine itself, in my opinion, is even more convenient than in Chrome. Here you can also search the history by a specific page name; on the side there is a convenient category by date: today/yesterday/old.

Option #1

To open the visit log window, you must press a combination of buttons Ctrl+Shift+H .

Option No. 2

You can also call the journal by accessing the menu: in the upper right corner you need to click on the icon with “three lines” - in the sub-window that opens, select "Magazine"(see screenshot below).

By the way, in Firefox, the visit log (see screenshot below), in my opinion, is almost perfect: you can look at today’s history, yesterday’s, for the last 7 days, for this month, etc. You can make a backup copy, or export/import entries. In general, everything you need is at hand!

Edge

Option #1

Press a combination of buttons on the keyboard Ctrl+H- a small side menu with a magazine will open in the upper right window of the program (example in the screenshot below).

Option No. 2

Click on menu "Center"(located in the upper right corner of the program), then switch the tab from favorites to magazine (see number 2 on the screen below). Actually, here you can find out all the necessary information (by the way, here you can clear your browsing history).

If the history is deleted, is it possible to find it out?

Not always and not completely... How this history was cleared and when is also of great importance. If, for example, special utilities for completely destroying history - there is practically no chance. And if you simply clean it using a regular function of the browser itself (and even recently), then the chances are much greater. Below are a few working methods...

Using DNS cache

If, after clearing the history in the browser, you did not restart the computer/laptop, then you can find the domains to which the transitions were made in the DNS cache. These, of course, are not specific page addresses, but you can still find out something...

Another disadvantage of this method: that, in addition to user connections, it will display service addresses used by your system, anti-virus applications, etc.

And so, how to view history using DNS.

Several ways to open the command line in different Windows -

Using data recovery programs

Browser browsing history is stored in regular files on your hard drive (like any other files). And if they are deleted, you can also try to restore them using data recovery programs (of which there are now hundreds).

The topic of recovery is quite extensive, so I recommend that you read the article linked below. In it I showed how to find and restore Word/Excel documents (the principle of operation will be similar).

How to recover an unsaved Word (or Excel) document- (see subheading "Searching for a deleted document on your hard drive")

Where to look for files that need to be recovered:

Google Chrome:
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\local storage

Mozilla Firefox:
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Microsoft Edge:
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History

Install a program to monitor user actions

If you want to find out what addresses and sites the user will visit in the future, then in this case you can set a special one. a program for monitoring actions and work on a PC. It will show not only addresses, but also all running programs, operating time, time the PC was turned on/off (it can also take screenshots of the desktop), etc. In general, you can find out everything that is done at the computer!

I talked about how to set it all up and what to choose in one of my articles, link below.

How to keep track of employees' working hours: find out what they do on their PC -

Control programs: Office metric, JETLOGGER, Kickidler, Time Doctor, CleverControl, Stakhanovets, CrocoTime.

Note: I would like to remind everyone that using such employee monitoring software on computers or other devices for which you do not have sufficient access rights (and authority) is considered a violation of Russian federal and state laws!

Restore the system using a checkpoint

If you have a system restore checkpoint, then it can also help restore history (they are created automatically by default in Windows XP, 7, 8 - in Windows 10 their automatic creation is disabled).

I have a separate article on this topic on my blog. From it you will learn how to see which restore points are in the system, and how to roll back to the one you need (link below).

How to restore Windows 10: step-by-step instructions -

Cons: there are not always checkpoints with the required date. Not all history is restored (Internet Explorer has a chance ☺).

That's all I have.

A novice PC user may one day wonder how browsing history is opened in a particular browser. Since web browsers differ in their interface, each of them has its own path to the list of visited sites.

How to open history in browsers

Among the many modern browsers, there are about five most popular ones. Each has its own interface that is not always intuitive. Finding some options sometimes takes some effort.

Internet Explorer

Opening your browsing history in Internet Explorer is very simple:

Click on the star icon, which is located between the gear and the house in the upper right corner.
Select "Journal". The Ctrl + H hotkeys will help you get to the story faster. Open the “Log” tab and select one of the options by which visited pages are sorted
Click on the arrow. Several parameters will be displayed by which visited sites are sorted:
- view by date. Convenient if the user knows when he visited a particular site. This will make it easier for him to find the page he is looking for;
  Select "View by date" if you remember when you visited the page you were looking for
- browsing by node. If the user remembers the main page of the site or its name, but is looking for a derivative, then it would be better to choose this option;
  Select "View by Site" if you know the site name
- View in order of visit. At this point, sites will be displayed in the order in which they were opened. It is recommended to choose this option if you visited the page you are looking for only recently.
  Open “View by order” if you visited the page you are looking for most recently

"Yandex"

In this browser, the list of previously visited pages is called “History”. You can open it in a separate tab:

Mozilla Firefox

In this browser, the list of pages is called "History", just like in Internet Explorer. It can be displayed on the screen in at least three ways, including the hotkey combination Ctrl + Shift + H.

Menu Bar and Main Log

To make the corresponding Mozilla panel appear, press Alt:

The appearance of the “Libraries” window can be slightly changed by hovering the arrow over the “View” item in the top panel. For example, using “Sorting” the user can arrange pages in a certain sequence. In order not to search the browser history for the desired link to the site, it is recommended to make bookmarks.

Journal in the sidebar

The magazine discussed above is the main one. Mozilla Firefox also offers to display additional history in the sidebar. To do this:

In the side journal, you can open the pages you need in the same way as in the main journal, but it is much more convenient to view the pages that are in your history using Quick View. To do this, simply select the desired page and it will immediately open in the window on the right, so you can quickly find the page you need if you have forgotten its name or URL.

Google Chrome

The browser is easy to use. A list of pages visited by the user is stored in the “History” section, which can be found in the program menu:

Opera

This browser saves your browsing history just like others. Access to the list is open to everyone. You can enter it in just two steps:

Although browsers are famous for their different interfaces and designs, searching for message history is not such a difficult task in most cases. The magazine is always located in the program menu, which is indicated by an icon of several lines. The exception is Internet Explorer, where the list is displayed under an asterisk and is displayed not in a separate tab, but simply in the sidebar, which is quite inconvenient.

When using the Yandex Browser, a question appears about clearing the history of visiting sites. This feature is useful when you need to find a downloaded file or a viewed page. The history in Yandex is updated, loads the internal memory, and the device’s operation slows down.
